Aigis jumped down from the exit at the back of the bus, landing in a familiar crouch that absorbed the impact rather than caused her to stumble. She kept moving, her feet staggering in a robotic fashion similar to how she moved back home.
After three steps the final pieces of Sechs' shouted words took root in her mind and stopped her short. He would return. She mustn't leave without him.
Why had she left him in the first place? Had she seriously just allowed him to fight against that monster without staying to offer back-up? Aigis gasped, turning on her heels and staring in horror at the bus she had left behind.
"Sechs-san!" Her voice quaked, and a shiver that was both terror and illness swept up her spine, pinning her in place. She could hear inhuman sounds coming from inside the bus, and she knew that thing, that once-nurse, was probably the source. But that didn't give her confidence. Sechs could still be hurting, bleeding, dyin--
"Sechs-san!" She screamed again, her voice shrill and a little desperate. With her attention so attuned to the bus before her, awaiting a friend she could only wish would appear, she hardly noticed the circling forms of other creatures just waiting for the right moment to strike.
